I recently changed my os from 32 bit to 62 to bit and I noticed that some of the games (Dragonball xenoverse, Witcher 2 ) fail to open and they give the following error : "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) .Click OK to close the application" . My specifications are as follow:
Os: Windows 7 64 bit, graphics card: Nvidia GT 730 1 GB DDR5, Processor: Amd Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+, Ram: 3 Gb, motherboard: asus M2N 68-AM. Now I've googled this problem and I found a lot of solutions and I've tried them but none of them seem to work..After I installed the new os I couldn't launch Metal Gear Solid V GZ it couldn't launch because msvcr.dll was missing.. So I downloaded the dll file and I placed it in the System 32 and the WOW(something 😛) folder at the game started working but the other two ( dragonball xenoverse and the witcher 2 ) aren't opening and they keep giving the same error.. Now here's what I've tried...
I've tried Copying certain dll files (xinput1_3.dll, mcf100.dll,etc) to the system 32 and the wow folder . I've reinstalled .Net framework, directx, vcredids (Microsoft C ++ redistributable what ever you like to call it 😛 ) , I've also reinstalled the Graphics card drivers..But nothing seems to work..
Thanks in Advance Guys! ^_^
 
Solution
I would say because it hasn't installed properly. 32 bit programs/files still function on a 64 bit OS and a required in many places, the fact they are not functioning properly is indicative of a less than perfect install.

Please do a fresh install, from Windows and when asked by the installer, go online and get all the installation updates.
